[INTERVIEW] HLH Rapid: rapid prototyping and high-mix, low-volume production under one roof

[biomedicool]

Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a complex and rare congenital heart defect in which the left side of the heart is critically underdeveloped, and cannot effectively pump blood to the body so that the right side of the heart must pump blood to the lungs as well as the rest of the body.

Medication to prevent closure of the ductus arteriosus between the right and left sides, followed by either surgery or a heart transplant, is necessary.

HLHS affects a number of structures on the left side of the heart that do not fully develop, for example:

left ventricle is underdeveloped and too small.

mitral or aortic valves are not formed or are very small.

ascending aorta is underdeveloped or too small.

atrial septal defect often also present

Symptoms

Grayish-blue skin color (cyanosis)

Rapid, difficult breathing

Poor feeding

Cold hands and feet

Being unusually drowsy or inactive

Causes

HLHS occurs during foetal development and the cause is unknown. There is likely a genetic component, as HLHS has been shown to be heritable and associated with specific gene mutations (GJA1 (connexin 43), HAND1, NKX2.5, 10q, and 6q). One study found that babies with HLHS were more likely to be born in summer months, suggesting that seasonality and environmental factors play a role in causation. HLHS usually occurs as an isolated cardiac defect. 

Surgery

Multiple surgeries are needed to increase blood flow to the body and bypass the poorly functioning left side of the heart, but these do not cure HLHS, only help restore heart function. 

Norwood Procedure

done within the first 2 weeks of life

create a “new” aorta and connect it to the right ventricle

place a tube from either the aorta or the right ventricle to the vessels supplying the lungs (pulmonary arteries)

 right ventricle can pump blood to both the lungs and the rest of the body

Bi-directional Glenn Shunt Procedure

4 to 6 months of age

creates a direct connection between the pulmonary artery and superior vena cava (returning oxygen-poor blood from the upper part of the body to the heart)

reduces the work the right ventricle has to do by allowing blood returning from the body to flow directly to the lungs.

Fontan Procedure

18 months to 3 years of age

connect the pulmonary artery and  inferior vena cava, allowing the rest of the blood coming back from the body to go to the lungs

Once this procedure is complete, oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood no longer mix in the heart and an infant’s skin will no longer look bluish.

A heart transplant may still be needed, and medication will be taken for the rest of the infants’ lives to prevent their body from rejecting the new heart..

Complications

Without surgery, hypoplastic left heart syndrome is fatal, usually within the first few weeks of life. Most treated infants will have complications later in life. Some of the complications may include:

Tiring easily when participating in sports or other exercise

Heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias)

Fluid buildup in the lungs, abdomen, legs and feet (edema)

Formation of blood clots that may lead to a pulmonary embolism or stroke

Developmental problems related to the brain and nervous system

Need for additional heart surgery or transplantation

Beberapa hal yang membuatku khawatir dengan relawan Covid 19 di kampungku.

1. Di antara mereka, dua bulan sebelum pandemi ini booming, banyak yang meremehkan virus ini lewat postingan-postingan hoaks yang mereka konsumsi di media sosial;

2. Tiba-tiba menjadi orang yang paling paham soal virus ini, hingga kecurigaan berlebihan pada orang dari kelas pendidikan/status sosial rendah. Kalau mau adil, dari mereka (relawan) itu juga ada yang baru pulang awal Maret saat virus ini sudah menyebar, tanpa swakarantina;

3. Mayoritas minim pengetahuan, susah bedakan swakarantina dengan minta pemeriksaan pada dokter. Tadi kuuji dengan bertanya, kapan hasil SWAB yang positif rapid diumumkan. Mengejutkan malah tanya balik, "Apa itu tes swab atau PCR?";

4. Memandang orang yang baru pulang dari Pulau Jawa dengan sinis dan takut berlebihan. Waspada boleh saja, tapi tolong pikirkan kata-kata yang pas untuk memberi pemahamaman jauh kesan judge, untuk yang ngeyel tak mau periksa, coba peras lagi otak memikirkan edukasi efektif, sulit sih, tapi usaha tetap dong sampai tetes terakhir, lha kamu RELA-WAN;

5. Bekerja sama dengan ACAB dan Manusia Barak. HLH maaf, kalian harus berdaya dan bisa ajak tenaga kesehatan untuk sosialisasi;

6. .... (demi keutuhan, selebihnya silakan intros sendiri).

Balloon Atrial Septostomy Treatment In India

Congenital Heart Defect is a condition, which includes a defect in the valves, arteries, walls, and veins of the heart in a newborn baby. This imperfection in heart structure can possibly decrease the blood circulation or make it stream in the wrong direction or get completely blocked. This is a rare disease and approximately 9 out of 1 thousand kids are born each year, with a poorly structured heart.

 Kinds of well-known Congenital Heart Blame

 Coarctation of aorta

 Aorta is the main and biggest blood vessel that transports the blood from the heart to several parts of the body. In the Coarctation of the aorta, a section of aorta remains constricted or narrow, at birth. It becomes difficult for the heart to pump blood out via the aorta. This heart problem is found in folk with a particular genetic disorder such as Turner syndrome.

 Symptoms

 The curved part of aorta points upwards to the head and straight part points downwards. Coarctation of the aorta can occur anywhere within the vessel. However, its tendency to happen at the top or aortic arch (C-shaped curve) is more. This makes it hard for blood to go out, so the blood pressure (BP), before the narrowed segment is high, and after the constricted part, is low.

 Headaches from high blood pressure (HBP)

Camps in legs

Cold legs or feet

Abnormal heart sounds

Poor weight gain in children because of difficulty in feeding

Fainting or dizziness

Symptoms happen only when the narrowing is severe in the aorta.

Treatment

The narrow section is repaired before the kids' age turns 10. It can be repaired via balloon angioplasty or open-heart surgery.

 Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS)

 'Hypoplastic' means 'underdeveloped'. In Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) the heart's left side includes the left ventricle, aortic valve, mitral valve, and aorta don't get developed in the fetus. A healthy heart has 2 ventricles. The right ventricle pumps blood towards the lungs to get oxygenated, whereas the left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood to the other sections of the body.

In HLHS, the left ventricle is very little to pump blood effectively. Ordinarily, there is a hole in the wall that divides the right ventricle and left ventricle.

Symptoms

In the womb, the fetus receives oxygen from the mother's circulation through the placenta. In a couple of days, after birth, the Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome symptoms can be seen. This happens because the placenta is disconnected and the newborn has to rely on its own heart for oxygenated blood circulation.

Rapid heartbeat (RHB)

Rapid breathing

Cool, clammy and pale skin

Blue color lips and face

Weak pulses in arms and legs (because of poor circulation)

 Treatment

The infant with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, at birth, will be given an IV (intravenous) to enhance bloodstream. A series of heart surgeries are performed to reroute the blood in the right ventricle. The right side will perform the functions of both ventricles. Even if possible, heart transplant surgery can be performed to provide the infant with a well-functioning heart.

Patent Ductus Arteriosus

In the womb, ductus arteriosus permits the blood to evade the lungs of the child. After birth as soon as the child starts to breathe, the responsibility of ductus arteriosus gets concluded and it shuts down automatically, in some days. In certain cases, ductus arteriosus remains open and can cause abnormal blood circulation. This condition is called a PDA. The cause of Patent Ductus Arteriosus is still unknown.

Symptoms

 Shortness of breath or rapid breathing

Sweating with playing or crying

Fast heart rate

Tire out easily

Poor eating & poor development

 Treatment

Patent Ductus Arteriosus treatment focuses on the closing ductus arteriosus to prevent complications. Closing of Patent Ductus Arteriosus is done either via medication, catheter, or surgery.

Tetralogy of Fallot

A group of four heart defects at birth is called Tetralogy of Fallot. The stream of blood gets deteriorated, due to these defects causing a reduction in oxygen level.

The four defects are -

1. Ventricular septal defect - There is a hole in the muscle wall between the left and right sides of the heart.

2. Pulmonary valve stenosis - It is the narrowing of large blood vessel entrance.

3. Over-riding aorta - Basically, aorta function starts from the left ventricle but in the Tetralogy condition, it begins from the center of the heart, just over the hole between 2 sides.

4. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Due to the upper 3 heart defects the right side has to overwork, so the heart muscle on that side gets developed.

Symptoms

 Bluish tint on the lips, fingernails, and skin

The tint darkens during activities such as crying

Abnormal heart murmur

While feeding the baby gets tired easily, which hinders the growth

Fingertips have an abnormal rounded shape

 Treatment

Open heart surgery is applied to repair the defects of the Tetralogy of Fallot. The pediatric cardiologists continue to check the baby regularly, even after surgery. Occasionally, the kid may need additional surgery, as they grow up because sudden complications may evolve.

 Transposition of great arteries (TGA)

Basically, in normal conditions, the blood from the heart goes to the lungs to get oxygenated through the pulmonary artery. After it comes back the aorta pumps the oxygenated blood via the body. In TGA, the blood comes to the heart but is pumped out directly without going towards the lungs for getting oxygenated.

Symptoms

 The child has bluish-colored skin

Rapid heart rate and breathing

 Treatment

The child receives intravenous medication, shortly after birth. If a hole is present in the hearts mid-wall then a hole will be made surgically. This permits the oxygen to mix with blood that is pumped out. The balloon atrial septostomy technique is used. Although this is a temporary treatment the child will require open-heart surgery called arterial switch operation within four weeks after birth, to correct the defect.

The Big Sick.

I finally saw this movie. I knew it would parallel my recent journey with HLH - but oh my god I could not have been prepared for just how much. The slight symptoms followed by a rapid decline. The familial confusion on how to handle it, trying to deal with social interactions afterward and just not finding it worth my energy all the time. Physical rehab, being proud for the small things like peeling a damn orange. My sister started crying so hard when she heard Staph Aureus because I just fought that off. Just. Watching these people go through all this pain and fear on screen so soon after we just went through it in real life. I wish I could get in touch with the real life couple this is based off of in order to tell them how much it means to see my struggle reflected in popular culture. I’ve never really seen representations of things like my ulcerative colitis - my poop disease isn’t very dramatic or pretty though, so I doubt I ever will. But HLH was traumatic. There was a night where everyone thought I would die, and I woke up just in time. And for mine, that night was the same as my sister’s wedding, so it was like. Super dramatic. I joke that it should be a movie, and, well, Hollywood obviously agreed. Of course I’m not dating a Pakistani guy whose family would disown him for dating me, and Grant and I were in a fairly stable spot when I went into the hospital. But the first “I love you” was said in a hospital room. And my boyfriend did think he’d lose me at a few months in. And we did almost break up because I was just overwhelmed afterwards - which was similar to how Emily was in the movie. I don’t know. It’s just bizarre. I left the theater, went into the bathroom, and just cried. I feel better now, but it was a lot to take in. I know this is kinda just rambling at this point, but I’m so glad this movie was made. Please support it if you have the means to. My story and the stories of those who have struggled deserve to be told and heard. And not just in a pity olympics way. It can be a romantic comedy, it can have humor because real life is like that. Not everything is all fun or all drama. It was 8 months of my life in and out of hospitals, there have been good and bad moments. And it's okay to do that - to have it be dynamic, just like real life. It means so much to see that and for the movie to be a success. To hear the audience laughing and crying at the struggles I've lived through. To know able bodied people are finding truth in this as well. It’s a wonderful story that shows part of my life which I never expected to see on the big screen reflected back at me.

First Application of CVVHDF, Plasmapheresis and "Cytosorb Absorber” to Solve a Pediatric Haemophagocitic Histyocitosis Case-Crimson Publishers

First Application of CVVHDF, Plasmapheresis and "Cytosorb Absorber” to Solve a Pediatric Haemophagocitic Histyocitosis Case by Milella L in Research in Pediatrics & Neonatology

Hematologic filtration techniques increased very quickly in interest and application as adiuvant treatment for systemic Hyper inflammatory conditions. "High Level” mortality conditions as Septic Shock and Sepsis are still highly present if we consider the continuous therapeutical progress.

This is the clinical-therapeutic report of a female patient observed in September 2016, aged 4 ,affected by HLH secondary to bacterial infection ; the patient also developed a secondary SDR with abnormal us macrophagic activation during septic shock and sepsis with MOF evidence status. The patient received mechanical controlled ventilation, strong cardiovascular drugs support, increase of volemia , CRRT, CVVHDF, intermittent plasmapheresis; a "Cytosorb Absorber” was added to the plasmapheresis circuit.

There was no Ethical Committee consent and the use of "Cytosorb”, not approved for pediatrics weighting less than 40kgs, has been done in ”Emminentia Mortis”. We observed, after the first 12 hours of Conventional Hemodiafiltration plus Cytosorb application, a very rapid improvement of cardiovascular and respiratory patterns, a rapid decrease of hyperammonemia, improvement of renal and hepatic functionality, a quick decrease of inflammatory markers. The hemodiafiltration was continued, Cytosorb was added with a 24 hrs interval and Plasmapheresis treatment was continued. In a few days there was a normalization of clinical condition with resolution of sepsis and MOF.

Conclusion: There is a very little experience in the use of pediatric purification techniques especially in the use of Cytosorb. This is the first pediatric treatment with Hemodiafiltration, Plasmapheresis and Cytosorb in a case of a confirmed Hamofagocytic Histiocytosis disease. Further studies and informations are required.

Pancytopenia Market : Review with Forecast Research Report 2018 - 2026

Pancytopenia is a medical abnormality related to the blood, wherein the number of blood components, i.e., red blood corpuscles (RBC), white blood corpuscles (WBC), and platelets decline below normal limits. The condition could be life-threatening, if not treated. The condition is characterized by fever, chills, fatigue, weakness, breathlessness, lymph nodes swelling, and splenomegaly.

The disease is classified into two types: idiopathic and secondary. The mechanism of idiopathic type is the inapprociate activation of T-cells due to autoimmune response, which leads to rapid hemophagocytic activity. The essential blood components, such as, RBC, WBC, and platelets are engulfed and destroyed at a rapid pace through the over-phagocytosis process. Pancytopenia further leads to a disease, called hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Major causes of pancytopenia include bone marrow suppression, heavy and long-term administration of drugs, such as antibiotics (e.g. chloramphenicol, linezolid), BP regulators, chemotherapeutic agents, other viral diseases such as HIV and hepatitis, and blood cancer. Diagnostic tests include complete blood count (CBC) and immunoassay. Treatments include immunosuppressant (cytophosphamide) and bone-marrow stimulators (epoetin alfa).

In some mild cases of pancytopenia, treatment may not necessary. In moderate cases, transfusion of blood may restore blood cell counts; however, over a period of time, blood transfusions may become less effective. In severe cases of pancytopenia, stem cell therapy and bone marrow transplant technique may be used to restore the ability of bone marrow to develop blood cells. Normally, these techniques are quite effective in younger patients; however, older patients may also require this technique along with a combination of immunosuppressant drugs, which stimulate the bone marrow.

The global pancytopenia market is anticipated to expand in the near future, owing to major drivers such as increased incidence rate of chronic diseases, rise in number of therapeutic products that suppress bone marrow activity and increased R&D practices and rise in awareness among the global population about blood-related disorders. According to estimates of Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), around 150,000 people in the U.S. are estimated to have been diagnosed with blood cancer, in 2013. Thus, high proportion of blood cancer patients is expected to boost the pancytopenia diagnostics and treatment market. However, high cost and long-term duration of therapy, side-effects associated with some treatment regime, and lack of reimbursement policies in developing countries are major restraints of the global pancytopenia market.

Flame-retardant plastics are important for making products safer from fire in industries like electronics, automotive, and construction.

These special plastics help slow down or stop fires from starting. When combined with injection molding—a fast and efficient way to make plastic parts—flame-retardant plastics are used to create fire-safe products.

But what exactly happens during the injection molding process with these materials? Let’s look at the key points.

1. What Are Flame-Retardant Plastics?

Flame-retardant plastics are types of plastic that are specially treated to resist catching fire and slow down the spread of flames. These plastics are mixed with special chemicals that either stop the fire from starting or create a barrier to keep the fire from spreading. Some common flame-retardant additives include:

Halogenated compounds (chlorine, bromine)

Phosphorus-based compounds

Metal hydroxides(aluminum, magnesium)

Silicone-based flame retardants

Each type of additive offers different levels of effectiveness, safety, and environmental impact, influencing how the plastic will behave in various applications.

2.Why Use Injection Molding for Flame-Retardant Plastics?

Injection molding is a manufacturing process that allows for the high-volume production of plastic components with consistent precision and quality. For flame-retardant plastics, this process offers several advantages:

-Cost efficiency - Injection molding is ideal for large production runs, reducing costs per unit.

Design flexibility - Complex shapes and intricate designs can be easily produced.

Material efficiency - The process minimizes material waste, which is important when using expensive flame-retardant additives.

Additionally, injection molding ensures that the flame-retardant properties are uniformly distributed throughout the plastic component, which is crucial for meeting safety standards.
